Working with the leniche Text Editor and Submitting Content

The text editor for submitting content through the author dashboard and the blog dashboard are somewhat different.

• Your blog dashboard pops up in front of your browser and you click on "Write" to submit. Each blog entry is published in your personal blog, and also put inside the content directory under the section: "Bloggers"
• Your author dashboard is located in the main area and you can start choosing a section/category right away

The text editor and submission process is very similar, and easy to do. But, just in case you aren't familiar with submitting blogs or writing online, we have two separate guides for all members to reference when submitting content. The first one is for the AUTHOR DASHBOARD. To skip down to the writing directions for the blog dashboard: Click Here

Submitting content to AUTHOR DASHBOARD

Basic Layout

There are two fields you have to write in when submitting content. They are:

• Intro text
• Main text
  

The intro text is viewable in some cases where the full article is not shown. It will also be displayed above the full article. The main text is just that, the main text of your article.

The Text Editor

The text editor you use to submit articles has a lot of options. You can click on one of the submit content links in your user menu to view it and experiment with all the possible features you can use to enhance your article.

You can make lists, align your text, input tables, use anchor links insert images, etc.

If you don't know how to adjust and use these items, don't worry, it isn't mandatory it's just an added feature. NOTE: To submit images you have to have a URL associated with it, and it must be copyright free with full permissions. For free image hosting, in order to get images with a URL check out Photobucket.com

Extra Options

At the bottom of the area where you're submitting content, you will notice three tabs:

• Images
• Publishing
• Metadata

*Setting Publishing Options

You can set some publishing options for each one of your articles, but some options will be overridden depending upon your position within leniche. You can choose whether or not your article is published. For this option, if you decide not to publish you article, it will stay in your drafts and you can always go back and edit through the "View/Edit Content" link in your user menu.

The Access level option is set to public, this option is there, but overridden automatically by the admin to display to the public

Author Alias. If you so choose, you are more than welcome to. Start publishing date and time are editable, but most often overridden by admin according to universal time standards.

*Metadata

Please make sure you fill in the meta data every time you submit an article. It will give you more exposure because you will receive more page views. Just fill in a brief description, and some of the keywords you used within your article. Don't forget to always watch the page views of your articles through your user profile!

*Tags (BLOG)

When writing entries for your blog, you're given the option to include TAGs. Tags are going to be the same type of keywords you would have put in your content. You should put at least 5-8 keywords in this field. Why? Because it makes your content easier to find, search for and will ultimately give you more page views, which in turn gives you more $ through your Adsense sharing!
